Internships (2 positions)
Aegean Prehistory Study Centre for East Crete (INSTAP-SCEC)

Two internships in archaeological conservation are available at the
Institute for Aegean Prehistory Study Centre for East Crete
(INSTAP-SCEC) during the summer of 2016.  These internships are
available for 6-8 weeks between June 1, 2016 and July 31, 2016.

The conservation lab is responsible for material excavated by
several American and Greek teams, including those working at
Mochlos, Azoria, and Gournia.  Interns participate fully in the work
of the lab, which includes lifting fragile artifacts on site,
examining and treating priority finds, and dialogue with material
specialists.  The 2016 internships will focus primarily on the
treatment of archaeological ceramics.  The lively INSTAP-SCEC offers
interns the chance to meet students and experts in a variety of
fields from many different universities.  It also hosts a summer
lecture series, has an excellent library and is a good base for
exploring the archaeology of Crete.

Applicants must be recent graduates of, or currently enrolled in, a
conservation degree program.

They should also be able to communicate and carry out conservation
documentation in English.

arrangements.
